"It concerned his behaviour in the 94th minute of Monday's [22/04/2019] game between Chelsea and Burnley in the Premier League."

Earlier in the match, Sarri appeared to sarcastically applaud Burnley's bench for perceived time-wasting tactics, after Ashley Westwood had gone down with cramp.

Frustrations boiled over at the end of the game with members of both benches involved in a melee on the touchline but The FA has confirmed it will take no further action against Chelsea or Burnley for the incident.

Sarri refused to conduct a post-match press conference after the draw, and instead sent assistant manager Gianfranco Zola to face the media.

"He was really unhappy with a couple of situations on the pitch," said Zola.

"He was unhappy with why he's been sent off, he just went down the line to tell the players to get on with the game. He's been misunderstood by Kevin.
